The elegant Ribbon Bow Potpourri from the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM), model 615, was produced in 1908 on the occasion of Empress Auguste Victoria's 50th birthday. This representative lidded vessel is one of the most artistic examples of imperial gift culture, combining masterful porcelain artistry with courtly symbolism.
The vase features the finely crafted monogram of Empress Auguste Victoria, crowned with the imperial crown, embedded in a decor of ribbon bows and floral ornaments. With a height of 23 cm and the typical KPM scepter mark in underglaze blue, supplemented by the painter's mark and the red imperial orb above KPM, the object can be clearly dated to the late Imperial era.
Such porcelain objects were specifically designed by KPM Berlin for special occasions and served as honorary gifts, diplomatic presents, or court gifts. Model 615 was also documented in the exhibition "From the Highest Purse. Imperial Gifts" and exemplifies the connection between artistic craftsmanship, historical significance, and representative aspirations.
This KPM lidded vessel is a coveted collector's item for enthusiasts of historic porcelain, imperial memorabilia, and German art history.
